That's unfortunately quite often not the case. sRGB is only displayed reasonably on a non-profiled monitor in case this one is close to sRGB in its characteristics. That was the case in the past for almost all monitors but nowadays many monitors have a wide gamut panel. If you happen to display an sRGB image directly (without color management) on such a device, all colors will look heavily oversaturated. Wide gamut monitors often have a hardware option to limit them to the sRGB gamut - which would render sRGB files rather correctly. However, this option is off by default.
